commit56c91a1843upstream. Function kernel_kexec() is called with lock system_transition_mutex held in reboot system call. While inside kernel_kexec(), it will acquire system_transition_mutex agin. This will lead to dead lock. The dead lock should be easily triggered, it hasn't caused any failure report just because the feature 'kexec jump' is almost not used by anyone as far as I know. An inquiry can be made about who is using 'kexec jump' and where it's used. Before that, let's simply remove the lock operation inside CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP ifdeffery scope.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
